Sectoral Climate Information Services
Climate Observation Stations
Climate Change Science Services
The Vanuatu Climate Futures Portal is a gateway to climate information services and tools, providing users with the science, mapping, data, videos and other resources to plan their adaptation actions. The Vanuatu Climate Futures Portal was developed by the GCF Vanuatu Klaemet Infomesen blong redy, adapt mo protekt (VanKIRAP) project.
